After running across a story of a mother's nasty discovery, I did a little more digging on mold and juice box pairings that aren't pretty. Join this discussion and tell us, have you found something yucky in a juice box or pouch before?

It's important to monitor how active your fetus is in the last months of gestation. Maybe more than ever before, doctors request pregnant women to tune into their body to detect if something could be wrong. A group of moms, after incredible tragedy, created a free app to aid in fetal kicks counting. Get the link with more information right here.
We are discussing what appears to be an increase in gang activity in Lakeland. Are you feeling frustrated by recent stories of gun violence?

If you're not sure what to expect in monthly bills with a new baby, I added a link that discusses realistic amounts and some tips to save.
I was just eyeing the school board calendar checking out the early release day schedule and blaring before me is just how many days are left of the school year, and by many, I mean, not many at all. Less than a month to go, we are counting down to the last day of school.
Be careful using public parks without a parent inspection, another case of planted razor blades on playground equipment recently hit the news and sent children to seek medical attention. Find those details here.
Another national story has appeared with a mom-to-be alleging a conflict with her pregnancy and employer. If you've ever felt similarly slighted, her story and another similar thread could offer you solace and suggestions.

Thanks for reading mom mail and I hope you will join us for these topics and others in the forums.
